How to pass scalars and arrays to dialog boxes?

[Rob Dizzle]

Hi friends,
I have just learned to create the dialog boxes. In that I have created the modal dialog box. I somehow successfully managed to do that. The problem is that now I have been told to pass scalars and arrays, which I don't know much. So thought that you guys would help me..!! Please tell me how to pass scalars and arrays to dialog boxes.?? Hoping some help from you.!@

Instead of directly going to the coding for passing the scalars and arrays, you will have to understand some basic concepts that might be useful while creating the coding. You will have to specify whether a model that calls this model passes this model's scalar inputs by value. Since, I know some good tips I would like to share that with you. This model allows passing roots by value to read its scalar inputs from register or local memory. This process is faster than reading the inputs from their original locations. But the drawback is that passing roots by value can lead to incorrect results if the model's root scalar inputs can change within a time step.

You should know about the functions showModalDialog() because you can pass the scalar, array, string, etc. as an argument from this function. The syntax for the showModalDialog() :

window.showModalDialog(param1, param2, param3)

The second argument of the functions showModalDialog() and showModelessDialog() can be of any type: scalar, array.

Since, you have created the dialog box. I would like to tell you some easy steps for passing scalars and arrays to dialog boxes. First, you will have to create a dialog box with below statement :

window.showModelessDialog('demo.html','Doc JavaScript');

The page demo.html includes some text and the following script :

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
<!--
  alert(dialogArguments);
 -->
</SCRIPT>

The window object property dialogArguments is set to the second parameter passed by showModelessDialog(). Hope that this helps you.!

While calling the function showModalDialog() and showModelessDialog(), there are at least two ways to pass addresses. You can pass it as an array and an object. You can pass array in the following manner :

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
<!--
  var arr = new Array;
  arr[0]="one";
  arr[1]="two";
  arr[2]="three";
// -->
</SCRIPT>

You will have to pass the array arr to the dialog box :

window.showModelessDialog('demo.html',arr);
